Reviews of Praying the Lectionary

Praying the Lectionary

What a very useful resource for those who plan the weekly services in our churches, but also a useful reference manual for those who wish to prepare themselves before attending the regular service. A page a day for all the three year lectionary for “normal” Sundays and the major festival and events of the Christian calendar. They can be used as a pew sheet introduction to the readings or as a proclamation before the readings at the service, or as a prompt for the address or sermon. Especially useful to the preacher are the questions and statements at the end of the passages which gives us a prompt for the intercessory prayer as well as a summary of the readings themselves. As the authors state, the readings on a Sunday can be delivered and go past in a few minutes and important though they are, sometimes forgotten. These brief words related every week may allow the entire congregation to reflect more readily and remember.
